Children of Mary

    Photo taken around 13 June 1915. (From the catalogue record: "Creation date based on date photographic order was placed; recorded in Index Book of the A. H. Poole Studio as: 13 June 1915.") Wonder if the Reverend Mother is in this photo taken same location, same day...
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    "These Children of Mary Sodalities first embraced the pupils and orphans of the schools and institutions of the Sisters of Charity of St Vincent de Paul.....The badge adopted by the Children of Mary Immaculate is the miraculous medal, suspended from a blue ribbon. The Children of Mary organization flourished in the mid 20th century. Young women went through a period of aspirancy of six months prior to acceptance as a fully fledged child of Mary, who had the right to wear the distinctive blue cape and carry the blue cape of a Child of Mary. When a Child of Mary married, she was embraced on arrival on the Church steps by other Children of Mary who removed the blue cape from over her wedding gown." From Wikipedia.

    In the 1911 Census there were 5 nuns, with Sr. Mary O'Donnell as "Supervisor".
  • Carol Maddock said:
    Sharon Corbet I was on the same hunt, Sharon. The Presentation reverend mother was a lot less egalitarian. While our Holy Faith Mary O'Donnell describes herself as Supervisor and her sisters as Sisters in Religion. Winifred Molloy of the Presentation nuns is "Head of Family" which is fair enough, I suppose, but all of her sisters are described as "Boarders"!

    Here they are in the 1911 census. John and Ellen Walsh, and at that time, their only child Mary.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Living in a shop in Mullinavat, 9 windows to the front.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Counting windows in the census (starting at the RIC barracks) and noting the very large 11 window pub at #10) I think the Walsh's shop was near where Centra is in this streetview

    25 August 1908 was a Tuesday ...

    Is the child on the left holding a toy DOG?
  • Niall McAuley said:
    32 Raftices in the 1911 census, but none entered as Mullinavat.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The only ones with small children are the Raftices of Grogan, Ballincrea, about 10 km away.

    Bridget, Maggie and Stasia in 1911....

    But they would have been aged 5, 1 and zero in 1908, and there were only 3, no sibs in 1911.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Part of Mullinavat is in Garrandarragh townland, which has two Raftices in 1911, Mary Anne (67), and in another household, James Cannon, 71.

    Given as Mullinavat Town in 1901.

    Perhaps this is Mary Anne with a collection of grandchildren?
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    It could be a Mrs. Raftice with her daughter's kids - with the grandkids having a different surname. For example Catherine Raftice in Ballylusky, which is only a few km from Mullinavat.
